Support for Spotlight on macOS is out with the release of version 2.53 (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/53361463306515-Box-Drive-v2-53-Release-Notes).
The request will be left in the "gathering feedback" stage, as Finder/File Explorer search functionality does remain limited.

We were absolutely bamboozled that native search on the Mac is not supported by Box.
Like…what!?! I have to be connected to the internet just to search even local files???
In addition, the ability to search natively is key when you have an idea of where something is and want search a particular folder. It's also key for browsing a search visually.
Use case:
1. I know an image exists somewhere below a given parent "Images" folder, but I don't know what the name is
2. In Finder I can do a Spotlight search within the parent folder for 'images' that will search all subfolders at that level
3. I can then put the results into icon view, sort by whatever criteria I choose, scale the thumbnails up, put the window into fullscreen view and quickly find the image I'm looking for by scanning them visually.
This is not possible with Box's search, whether via the Box Drive search modal or on the website
